How we can help in London
Find out about the range of services and support that could be available to you and those close to you across London.
Our nurses, healthcare assistants and other healthcare professionals in London bring the clinical, practical and emotional help you need to you, in the comfort of your own home. And we offer support to the people close to you too – from reassurance and practical information to letting them take a break.

Whether you're ill or looking after someone who is, you know that symptoms can change at any time, day or night. Terminal illness doesn't adhere to a schedule, so neither should the care you get. Urgent hospice care at home is there for you when you need it.
Our Urgent Hospice Care at Home service is available in Ealing and Hounslow, Newham and City and Hackney, Bromley and Lewisham, Greenwich.
If your symptoms are so complex that you’d normally need to be cared for in hospital or the hospice, we can oversee your care at home. From specialist medical and nursing care to emotional and psychological support, enhanced hospice care at home provides hands-on hospice care in the comfort of your own home.
Our Enhanced Hospice Care at Home service is available in Camden and Islington.
Companion volunteers across London provide practical and emotional support at home, in hospital and over the phone. They offer free, flexible and personalised help to people at the end of life, and to their families and carers.
The Companion at Home service is available in Barnet, Enfield, Harringey, Hackney, Islington, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest, Lambeth and Southwark.
The Companion in Hospital service is available at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital and St George’s Hospital.
Marie Curie works closely with local care homes, GPs and other healthcare professionals to help open up conversations about your future plans, wishes and care. Discussing and writing down your wishes, preferences and goals now means the people close to you, and those involved in your care, will be better able to support you in future.
Once you’re referred to the service, a Marie Curie Nurse can visit you and help you work out and write down your plan, and share it with the people important to you.
This service is currently available in care homes across Ealing and Hounslow, and to residents of Camden, Islington, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey.
